Last weekend, MnDRIVE Brain Conditions had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Brain Health Fair at UROC and what an amazing day it was! The event brought together community members, families, researchers, and organizations for a fun, interactive celebration focused on brain health, resources, education, and connection.
Throughout the day, visitors stopped by to learn more about brain conditions, neuromodulation research, and the important work happening across the University of Minnesota. From hands-on activities to engaging conversations, the fair created a welcoming space where people of all ages could explore how brain science impacts everyday life. Events like this help bridge the gap between research and community, making brain health accessible, understandable, and inspiring.
It was especially meaningful to connect directly with local community members. We loved answering questions, sharing resources, and hearing personal stories about why brain health matters. The enthusiasm, curiosity, and support from attendees made the day truly special and reaffirmed how important community-centered outreach is to advancing awareness and education.
This event was also a huge success thanks to the incredible team behind the scenes. A heartfelt shout-out goes to our amazing volunteers (Casey Gilmore, Jazmin Camchong, Anmei Gilmore, Alana Lieske & Karrie Molitor) who brought energy, knowledge, and smiles throughout the day. Your dedication helped create a welcoming and engaging experience for everyone who stopped by.
We also extend our sincere thanks to the Brain Health Fair organizers (Francis Shen & John Bartee III) for creating such a meaningful and impactful event. Your leadership made it possible for organizations, researchers, and community members to come together in celebration of brain health and boost brain awareness.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful event and look forward to continuing to build strong connections with the community. Together, we can raise awareness, spark curiosity, and promote healthier brains for all.
